Hi Wieger Thanks for the details.  Yes, sounds like a driver issue (I had a driver issue like that with the exact same distortion many years ago).  My other idea is that it could...

Hi Scott, Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying the lesson. Yes, BB sure changed the world of blues guitar with his style. Rick guitar also! Duke

Hi Steve H, You sound great, nice smooth groove and good execution. Nice Strat tone also! Duke 

Hey Peter, Sounds great. I like the way you are using these riffs and the tone is nice also! Duke

Hi Paul, Those are my favorite versions of one of my favorite songs so you can count on that! Duke 

Hi Mike Thank you for your quick response. In the meantime I found out that the sound is perfect when I use Safari 7.0 with the Apple standard audio driver and the headphone jack...

Duke I want to suggest 'Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You'. I've loved the tune every since I heard on a Hot Lips Page LP years ago. There are some great versions out there: yours,...

Portnoy is one cool cat. He not only oozes the blues, but he embodies what was good about beatniks, hippies and jazz cats that didn't OD. I know he's not old enough to have live at...

Hi Wieger Thanks for the message and sorry for the issue.  I really appreciate all of the detail --- it helps a lot. Testing different browsers and YouTube was the right choice....

Please help Shortly after I updated OSX to 10.9 the sound of the video lessons is distorted in Safari (but OK in Chrome). YouTube on Safari comes through undistorted. Any...

Guys   Here's my take. It's not perfect but seems to invoke the spirit of this style. My solos need more "major" sounding notes. Thanks for the pearls of wisdom Duke. Thanks,...

Gosh Duke.  I remember craving to learn B.B.'s early guitar solos.  Makes for bliss listening to it.  Even better playing it.  This is the soul of the Blues.

@Alex...thanks for posting the video.  I wonder if there are any stories like this in Italy.

I somehow missed this open mike session.  Sorry I did, but now that I've found I can go back and listen to everyone's stuff   As far as Duke and Texas Flood, that album was the...

Duke sez " Duke Robillard Oct 07, 2013 Hey Tom, another good one. i really like the sound you two have together. Did you know i recorded Texas Flood on the first Roomful of blues...

Thanks Mike, Yes, I agree, the click can help you understand the timing of each phrase much easier. I will use that more often or all the time possibly.

Beautiful Duke.  Just love those runs.  I agree with Rick, lot's of gems in this one.   The click track is really helping me.  I'm trying to keep my foot going to the click while...
